Some on the bay at the moment going cheapOriginally Posted by Penfold
Like the project, did you etch the whole body or is that just a funny colour primer?
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
yes all bin etched, the paint thats on is somthin called bar coat wich is a base layer wich goes on before primer, i do have a spare set of front arches but rest of original kit was smashed to bits
loving how that is going, whats the actual purpose of the bar, is it a coat to stop reactions within the paint ?
thanks it is comin on pretty well now, somthin like that, it doesnt let anythin below it through so the primer and colour has a fresh new surface or somthin like that, just cant wait for the colour to go on and get it back on the road
Really nice mate! How come you don't wana keep it a phase one tho
i thought about it at first but then all phase two bits came up on ebay really cheap, i will change them back at some point i think if i can find all the bits that i will need
Cool mate! So she will be able to morph from phase 1 to 2! Nice
Nice! ...i recognise that clio from clio16vlovely clio ...any more pics of the clio?
Cool project
Did you buy my front exit exhaust by any chance?
Did you start to get bad reactions between the two paints then?
yes i did buy that front exit off ya still got it but dont think ill be using it now mate, ill try n get more pics of the clio it is the one from the 16v site, i didnt get any bad reactions from paint that barcoat is just a precaution incase there was if you know wot a mean
here are a couple more pics of my mates clio 16vNice! ...i recognise that clio from clio16v
first coat of colour is on, looks a little matt at the min but will shine wen she's done
glad to see another beeing restored ,is that a peouget colour keep up the good work mate
No mate its just a number off a chart full of reds, funny cos i went to get some dark silver/grey until i got there lol
Loving the clio ....nice colour for the 5 also
thanks, it took some choosing, ye the clio turned out well, he's done a good job of it and theres only a few more bits left to do with it and its doneLoving the clio ....nice colour for the 5 also
got its first coat of lacquer yesterday but pics dont quite do it justice
also started sorting new engine out today
engine still needs a fair ammount of work though
looks very nice.
few more engine pics
slowly gettin there
I didn't think you could run a bleed valve on the volvo lump as the boost was controlled via ecu ?
Looks good so far bud..
i think the ecu has had a map of some sort cos it already had a valve on it and boost was off the gauge way past the limmit of 9 psi is it, and was running fine in the volvo with just abit of a grip issue lol
Possibly had the rich mod ecu, very impressive mod chip if it has, taking it from a stardard 125 bhp to a staggering 160 bhp before you even touch filter, exhaust or boost.. 160 bhp at the wheels that is, so in a r5 and a bleed valve i reakon ur talking serious power from a 1.7
Any othe mods planned for the engine mate ? If you need any help with wiring then give me a shout i found it very easy once i studyed the diagrams for like a week.. lol
to be honest ill be happy with it running anywere between 150 and 200bhp as long as its reliable so i was just goin for exhaust filter front mount and abit of boost, only issue with wiring at the min is were to mount all the box's and wich box's i could get rid of out of the volvo's loom, however im sure ill get stuck at some point so will give you a shout if thats ok lol
fantastic paintwork
finally got the right clutch after three attempts (215mm)engine should be in by end of sat, cant wait
well engine's finnaly in with drive shaft bolt holes tapped out to 10mm (nightmare) now for the wiring
thats looking sweeeeeet! lovin it
well bin crackin on with all the wires and removing as much as i could connected the battery an it turns over a treat so now for the water hoses then the fmic, also i bought and fitted a new horn today but not sure if its legal its a twin electric air horn and is very loud, any one know if this would this pass an mot, thanks
just thought id put an updated pic on now its had a few parts put back on includin new 172 wheels but think they will be changed for some retro or euro style rims
just started with my project again after a few month break, mannaged to get brake lines done back lights and rear arches on, mannaged to get head lights completley working and now indicators decided stop, gutted
neayly ready for mot, just brakes, coilovers and last bit of wirring, cant wait to drive it again
Looks the nuts
Dam wish i had a unit like that too.....nice job mate
what brakes you going for??
Top work mate, well done for breaking the norm and going for a different colour. I like it.
Will look better when it's sat down on the coilovers and if it was mine i'd have to put darker wheels on it, but that's my opinion. Looks great
Not sure wot brakes or coilovers to go for yet but opinions welcome, as for wheels think its gonna be either team dynamics in black i think or some split rim style
For coilovers, look into Gaz/Leda as we have club discount with them
well just bin playin round with car, got the fuel pump and filter on, abit of wirring done, bodged an i/c onto it turned the key and it ran, first time in over a year, made it a good day
Well today was a very very good day, finally got the 5 running and boy did it sound great.
i could describe how it sounded etc, but ill let the video's speak for themselfs
